California’s Los AngelesFrom 4 p.m. on Saturday to 4 p.m. on Monday, the mountains in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory.
At elevations higher than 6,500 feet, the National Weather Service forecasts snow accumulations of up to 10 inches.
Trace quantities may occur as low as 4,000 feet, with areas between 5,000 and 6,500 feet potentially receiving 3 to 6 inches. On Sunday evening and Monday morning, snow levels might fall as low as 3,500 feet.
Travel in the impacted areas might become dangerous, according to the advisory, especially on mountain highways and busy thoroughfares like the Grapevine on Interstate 5, which could get up to an inch of snow.
During the Monday morning rush, commuters should be ready for possibly dangerous situations.
It is advised that drivers exercise caution and slow down. Officials advise contacting 511 or visiting the Caltrans website to check road conditions before departing.
Given that the snow levels are lower than typical for this time of year, this snowfall represents a major meteorological event for the area. Passengers should anticipate delays and wait until Monday afternoon for updates.
